FIDE Fair Play Commission publishes the statement on the Carlsen-Niemann investigation

on

FIDE Fair Play Commission today published the statement on the Carlsen – Niemann investigation. “The investigation is not yet completed (…) & The final report will be published as soon as technically possible”, reads the statement.

While the Carlsen-Niemann Investigatory Panel has been working very hard in the past few weeks, the investigation is not yet completed. This is due to the complexity of the matter at hand, which requires the Investigatory Panel to search for and analyze all relevant evidence, and also to consult with external experts where needed.

The IP cannot disclose the content and interim outcome of its efforts; however, the Fair Play Commission wants to reassure all interested parties and the chess community that the IP is committed to its work and that constant progress is being made. The final report will be published as soon as technically possible.
